The MQBA operates [[Minnesota High School Quiz Bowl League]]. It has four divisions and each has four preliminary meetings a season and lasts from October to February on Thursday evenings. Each meeting is colloquially known as a "league night" and consists of four rounds against random opponents. Each of these league nights occur at separate divisional locations. In February the the league's top teams are seeded into a double elimination tournament held at a central location. Higher rounds are broadcast on BCTV4 exclusively to viewers in Burnsville, MN. The league currently uses a custom written packet derived from an NAQT A level packet and lightning rounds.
